The Lakeview Shepherd Center was founded in 1977 to serve the senior population of New Orleans. It is a community center that promotes the wellness of mind body and spirit. We offer a variety of exciting mental and physical activities that emphasize cognitive well being and promote the fostering of personal connections.

The center serves seniors in need of accessible and free exercise classes, social interaction, a hot meal, or recreational activities like art, gardening, cards and games.

We offer flexibility classes such as Chair Yoga, Strength and Balance and Tai Chi. These courses promote a healthy lifestyle that are both challenging and rewarding for seniors. These classes go at the individual's pace and are a fun way of getting to know new people. 

The center also offers computer, cell phone and social media troubleshooting, helping seniors maintain connections with the ever-changing world of technology. We encourage all seniors to bring their devices into the center if possible. Our instructors are there to walk you through the steps if you are a beginner or show you new ways to use the technology you already have.

To keep things fun and different, we oftentimes also have local speakers, artists, singers, musicians and writers perform and share their work.

Here at the Lakeview Shepherd Center we are a family. The seniors that come through our doors are treated with kindness and compassion. We welcome the opportunity of getting to know you, so come by and take the tour. You have a group of wonderful people waiting to meet you.
